PHP 4.0 Bug #7881: sybase-ct does not report server errors

From: alex@quad.com.ar Operating system: Linux kernel 2.2.16 (debian 2.2) PHP version: 4.0.3pl1 PHP Bug Type: Sybase-ct (ctlib) related Bug description: sybase-ct does not report server errors ok, this is my php configure line: ./configure --with-apxs=/www/bin/apxs --with-sybase-ct=/opt/sybase-11.9.2 --enable-track-vars I've got these 3 packages installed on /opt/sybase-11.9.2 sybase-ase-11.9.2-3.i386.rpm sybase-common-11.9.2-3.i386.rpm sybase-openclient-11.1.1-3.i386.rpm I can query a MSSQL 7.0 server + SP2 applied with no problems, but if I ever misstype a query php won't report the sql server error and hangs the script forever. I strace'd apache and here are part of the results: (the cmd used was: strace -s 128 /www/bin/httpd -X) connect(6, {sin_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(1433), sin_addr=inet_addr("200.32.xxx.xxx")}}, 16) = 0 ioctl(6, FIONBIO, [1]) = 0 ioctl(6, FIOASYNC, [0]) = 0 setsockopt(6, SOL_SOCKET, SO_KEEPALIVE, [1], 4) = 0 setsockopt(6, IPPROTO_TCP1, [1], 4) = 0 ... some more not meaningfull sys calls..... send(6, "\1\1\0\33\0\0\0\0SELECT foo FROM bar", 27, 0) = 27 recv(6, "\4\1\0?\0\0\0\0\252+\0\320\0\0\0\1\20\32\0Invalid object name \'bar\'.\5MEGA1\0\1\0\375\2\0\301\0\0\0\0\0", 3072, 0) = 63 alarm(300) = 300 alarm(0) = 300 send(6, "A", 1, MSG_OOB) = 1 recv(6, as you can see the server reported an "Invalid object name \'bar\'." error message, but somehow php sends a MSG_OOB after that, and then waits the recv() forever. the browser keeps waiting until it times out (the browser times out, not php, it even exceeds my max_execution_time). If I kill apache then the error msg is shown, but otherwise.. it timesout and nothing is shown. my php script was: <?php $c=mssql_connect($dsn,$user,$pass); mssql_select_db($db_name); $r = mssql_query("SELECT foo FROM bar",$c); $row = mssql_fetch_row($r); echo $row[0]; ?> hope you guys can help me out on this one :) Thanks alex@quad.com.ar -- Edit Bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=7881&edit=1
